Respect and fair play pave the way for our league to operate with integrity and sportsmanship. The Code of conduct is as follows:

1. Respect: All players, coaches, referees, and parents must respect each other at all times. This includes no name-calling, bullying, or verbal abuse of any kind.
2. Fair Play: All players must play within the rules of the game and compete fairly. Cheating or unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated.
3. Safety: Safety is our top priority. Players must follow all safety rules and equipment requirements and must report any injuries to their coach or parent immediately.
4. Inclusion: We welcome all players regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, religion, or physical abilities. Discrimination or harassment of any kind will not be tolerated.
5. Responsibility: Players, coaches, and parents must take responsibility for their actions on and off the field. This includes showing up on time, following the league's rules and guidelines, and respecting the facilities and equipment.
6. Positive Attitude: We encourage players to have a positive attitude and to support their teammates, coaches, and opponents. Negative behavior, such as taunting or unsportsmanlike conduct, will not be tolerated.
7. Parental Involvement: Parents are encouraged to be involved in their child's sports experience in a positive manner. This includes supporting their child's efforts, respecting coaches and officials, and modeling good sportsmanship.
8. Community: all members will respect the community we are in including designated parking areas, waste disposal, property protection and proper use of field amenities and rules

Parents, staff and players are required to abide by our code of conduct. Staff violations of the code of conduct can be reported to www.cyffl.ca and will be dealt with internally according to our staffing policies. Any violations by a player will be addressed in accordance with the flag football rules (see the rules tab above for specific penalties and conduct discipline). Parent violations will be addressed directly by the staff member present, parents continuing to violate the code of conduct after a previous warning may be asked to leave the field of play. Multiple violations over a season may result in termination from the program.
